Descent from zenith is uneasy glide
Entails dissatisfaction, cares which chide
Comfort lost, counts cost, bewails with dread
Innate scope and hope, horizons wide
Disintegrating as the Fates deride
Expressions of free will, dice filled with lead.
Dreams often the minority divide
Essentially from masses mystified.
Champion truth not falsehood, for ahead
Is clarity, options authentified,
Draw down from experience allied,
Ever convictions leader sifts from led.
Dare, dare not, often men from men divide
Ever as the crowd, preoccupied,
Criss-cross zigzags, dumb stays, hope gainsaid,
Initiatives restrained, fence sitting, cut and dried
Decisions drained unblessed by wisdom wide,
Expectations high denied instead.
Deny temptations of soft ride,
Ease superficial, risks unquantified,
Choosing “safe way”, straight road comfort fed,
Idea[l]s mediocre are poor guide,
Deride free choice, autonomy, self pride, -
Exchange stereotype conformity, for bread.
Distrust that moment Fortune’s tide
Entwines ambitions in its fickle thread,
Cause, Effect confuses as Fate’s tread
Is feared by those to blind convention wed,
Dark homage pay ‘authority’ to glide
Empty through life, by siren songs misled.
Disqualified whose deeds, unjustified,
Emotions undermine, who have misled
Communication, dialogue have shed,
Isolated self from ethics, lied,
Dropped principles and trust, stripped bona fide
Emancipation, high ideals stopped dead.
Dim, most, responsibility do chide,
Endure more than participate, and dread
Conscious freedom’s fountainhead,
Inhibit their own birthright, squat beside
Doubts self born, stay torn, dare not provide
Emotions true to surf life’s watershed.
Decades dovetail to centuries beside
Entrapped spectators, waiting on the side,
Challenge refusing, witless walking dead
In fear of fear, refusing to decide.
Dare ! Who is there their answers seek inside
Earth’s soul ? Most stillborn seem their hour sped !
Despise stop-gap solutions qualified
Everywhere as failsafe when, allied,
Complacency and status found in bed,
Incestuous are chosen for free ride,
Denigrating independence wide,
Endure more than participate, choice dread ...
Decisions take, don’t hesitate or bide
Excessive time awaiting from outside
Comprehensive answers coveted.
Independant mind must coincide
Directly with the will to win, not hide...
Existence is too short – life soon is fled.
Deeds Mankind needs, advancing from inside,
Excluding bias, crimes unrectified,
Creating bridges, leaving naught unsaid.
Identify the different ways your stride
Divides from those who, superficial, slide
Each day, - those most behind through putting self ahead !
